Dear J.P
It’s obvious that you still hate me from what happened at the school and I honestly don’t blame you for it. I realized that maybe if I weren’t around, you would be a bit happier, so i’m leaving home and going to go find somewhere to live. Don’t worry, I have a bit of money and I can find a job somewhere. I hope you will remember me and take care of mom.
Signed,
Jo
(P.S I never got to tell you this, but I love you more than anything else in this world, please remember that.)
The letter floated from my hand and I was down the stairs before it even touched the floor, flying down three stairs at a time. My chest was aching with each step I took as I thought of losing someone so important to me. “Please don’t let me be to late.” I muttered as I jumped down from the stairway. I walked into the living room, just as Jo was putting her hand on the doorknob, her backpack over her shoulder and keys in her hand.
As she saw me she flung the door open and tried to run out of the door, only getting to the sidewalk before I grabbed her arm. “Let go of me!” She screamed as she tried to pry off my strong grip. “No” I answered. She continued pulling away from me and yelling until she just snapped and started crying and screaming “Why do you care? I thought you hated me! I thought you’d be happy to see me gone, so why don’t you let me go?! WHY?!” She screamed. I let go of her arm as she started to stand up and started beating on my chest even though I know stood a head taller than her.
Why do you still care? Why can’t you just leave me alone? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?! with each sentence, she pounded me softer and softer till she just had her hands on my chest crying.”Why? Just tell me that…” she whispered. I stood there a for a while before I acted on instinct and pulled her close to my body and hugged her before looking into her eyes and seeing so much hurt in there and need. She needed me to be there for her, to want be beside me. I just reacted. I pulled her by her chin until we were eye to eye.
“What are you…?” Jo asked in a whisper “You wanna no why I’ll never let you go? why I won’t let you leave? Because if you leave you’ll betaking away the only thing that matters in this world to me, I know I was a jerk and I’m sorry, but I need to say this or else I’ll never have the courage to say it.” I said never looking away from her eyes. “wha…? ” Jo said staring back at me, her eyes pleading the unasked question. I took a deep breath.
Josephine Cain, I think I love you, not like how I am supposed to. I love you from my heart and I can’t bear to think of life without you. The truth becoming clearer with each word I spoke. I then sealed everything with a kiss ‘I am not going to lose her.’ I thought to myself. ‘No matter what the hell happens, I will not lose her!’ I felt her tongue touch the front of my lips and I opened up, only meet her tongue with my own. Jo moaned slightly into kiss as our tongues intertwined swirled around around each others mouths before we broke apart, breathing heavily. “I Love you to J.P, oh god I love you so much!” She said leaning into my chest and sighing. I wrapped my arms around her. “I swear I will never let you go.” A single tear fell from her face as she whispered in my ear. “Take me home…”
I upped my physical strength a bit more before picking Jo up bridal style, and carrying her back into the house. Mom had to go to work again, so it was just us at home. Sometime on the way back, Jo had fallen asleep, so I carried her up the stairs and laid her down in her bed before returning to mine. My mind went over and what the hell I just did as flopped down onto the bed, but quickly shut itself down, anticipating a good night’s rest. I quickly fell asleep,unaware of how significantly that single kiss changed my life forever.
